8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from Shihab who has said the following: “A man set free his slave in the evening of the day of ‘Arafah (ninth of Dhul Hajjah); if the slave’s al- Hajj is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not sufficient.’ I then asked, ‘Will he receive any reward for it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he receives rewards.’ I asked about a ten-years old boy and his al-Hajj. He (the Imam) (a.s.), said, ‘He owes Hajjahta al-Islam when he grows to adulthood and so also is the case of a young girl.’”

9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and a number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad all from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a child when he is made to assume the state of Ihram? He (the Imam) said, ‘When he safeguards and protects.’”

10. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Durays who has said the following: “This is about a man who travels for Hajjahta al-Islam and dies on the way. Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If he dies in al-Haram (the sacred area), it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. However, if he dies outside al-Haram (the sacred area), then his guardians should complete, Qada’ (compensatory for) Hajjahta al-Islam, on his behalf.’”

11. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Burayd al-‘Ijliy who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who travels for al-Hajj. He has a camel with him and his supplies, but he dies on the way. He (the Imam) said, ‘If it was his first al-Hajj and has died in al-Haram (the sacred area), it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. If he dies, being his first al- Hajj, before assuming the state of Ihram, his camel, supplies and things with him are applied to his Hajjahta al-Islam, if anything is left extra it is for his heirs, if there is no loan on him.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if it was an optional al-Hajj and he dies on the way before assuming the state of Ihram, who will have his camel, and things with him?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘All things belonging to him go to his heirs, unless there is loan on him which is paid on his behalf or if his will says to give something to someone, in which case it is paid from one-third of his legacy.’”
